Question 1054862: A particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of 35 % per day. If my dog got infected with 8700 bacterium when her leg was cut by barbed wire, how many bacterium will be present in 24 days when I finally decide I need to take the dog to the veterinarian.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The second question depends on quantity of damage and what kind, that this bacteria makes, so since the growth rate is (seems so ) high, you might have about two days at the very most, and that could be far too long to wait. Some lab testing maybe, from a microbiological lab, to identify or confirm the bacteria identity?
x is days
y is amount bacteria

Let x=24 for the first question.
